In Animal Crossing: Wild World, players make their own stories. An Animal Crossing: Wild World player and up to three friends move into a village and just live life, extend a home, interact with their neighbours and explore their Animal Crossing: Wild World village. Much of the cast of the original Animal Crossing™ returns, including animals of all shapes and personality types: K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, Blathers, Mr. Resetti and more. Animal Crossing: Wild World also boasts a number of new characters.Players in Animal Crossing: Wild World move into village, buy a small house and then do whatever they want. Time and seasons pass as they do in the real world, so there will always be something unpredictable happening. Collect or buy Animal Crossing: Wild World items, talk to neighbours, go fishing, catch bugs, dig up treasure or hang out with human friends!

Animal Crossing: Wild World lets you tap the touch screen to type letters, draw designs for clothing or wallpaper, drag clothing or items onto characters or just lead them around the world. Using DS Download Play or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Animal Crossing: Wild World players can hang out in real time with up to three friends.
